August 1

Thursday July 29th was the 3rd chemo and it went OK. When mom got home she had quite a few problems but then was OK. She usually has pain in her stomach muscles by the 3rd day but this time it started right away. Today she said she is having pain in her legs. If she still has pain tomorrow I will call the chemo nurse. She hasn't gotten sick this time but trying to keep up with the nausea pills.

Forgot to blog in the last blog that we changed drs. It was OK but spent ALOT of time waiting in the room. They xrayed her thumb and it is not broken but has lots of arthritis. They gave her some meds but they didn't help at all with the pain. The HH nurse called and let the dr know that they weren't helping. When the drs office called they said she could take the pills 3 times a day. I asked them why she would take the pills 3 times a day when they didn't help the pain and just made her sleep. I have decided it REALLY is hard to find a good drs office. Drs offices are businesses now and they are about making money. How sad. We really have lost alot of compassion in this country when it comes to medicine.
